Good morning and happy new year! I hope everyone's holidays were warm 
and wonderful. Thanks to the holidays I have, in addition to a few 
other things, plenty of cookbook reviews for you this month!

CafePress Update:

Due to the number of designs we had, we decided to split our CafePress 
store into two stores:

"Gamer's Heaven" provides all of the gaming and geekdom products:

"Caffeinated Chicanery" provides everything else--designs related to 
writing, cooking, cats, humor, and more:

I want to thank everyone for just how successful these two shops were 
this holiday season. For something that started largely as a joke 
(seriously, one night we just said, "hey, these would make great 
t-shirt ideas") this has turned into an actual business that has 
brought its three creators a great deal of satisfaction and fun. 
CafePress does provide a streamlined process for sending out store 
newsletters, which we do once a month; we try to keep them fairly short 
and to the point, and we're going to start including subscriber-only 
sales each month. If you're interested in signing up, the signup form 
is a simple little box on the left-hand side of each store in the nav 
bar, beneath the navigation links.

Again, I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season, and best wishes 
for 2007!

Heather
